So, let's take a look at how exactly this recent epidemic has affected the gaming industry and how it might continue to alter the plans of developers and tech giants like Sony and Microsoft. With doctors on China's front line to contain the spread of the virus and tend to those afflicted, these effects will hopefully end soon, as will the suffering of the victims.

A number of rumors have been circulating recently about the state of the PS5's reveal and, most importantly, where and when it will be taking place. Some rumors have placed the PS5 reveal in late February , while others suggested it might have been happening sometime around February 5th. If the latter rumor had true, then it's highly likely that Sony was planning to unveil their new system at Taipei Game Show before it was dela

G2 lost their first four games at MSI, ultimately coming in second to last place and missing the playoffs entirely. This was devastating not only to G2, but to Europe as a whole, as this placement meant that the region would miss out on a Pool 1 Seed at Worlds. In regards to their poor play, the organization hastily put out a statement halfway through day two of the event, explaining how the team had taken vacation time after a "rigorous Spring Split." SKT would go on to win MSI, with Faker receiving

Aside from the Taipei Game Show, there have been a few other gaming events that have been canceled, postponed, or put under strict guard as fear of Wuhan Coronavirus continues to grow. Most notably, the second week of the League of Legends Pro League was delayed to ensure the safety of both fans and players, as the Chinese tournament held a high risk of spreading the virus. As a result, the tournament has maintained it's postponement and likely won't be back on for some t

One strange effect of the Coronavirus lately, has had more to do with gamers directly as opposed to the industry behind selling and developing games. Some titles with surface level similarities to the virus have been skyrocketing as fears of the Wuhan Coronavirus have swept across the world. In fact, popular mobile title Plague Inc. has excelled in China since worries of the virus started spreading throughout the coun

The Coronavirus, or at least the new strand of the virus referred to as the Wuhan Coronavirus, has been affecting mainland China for months now. Since it's first reported case on December 1st, 2019, the virus has heavily affected everyday life in China as well as imports and exports coming in and out of the coun

With the addition of Huni, Evil Geniuses look to bolster their already strong lineup. However, due to Riot Games' import restrictions, Huni might not play for EG's LCS roster in 2020. In order to play Huni, Evil Genuises would have to replace Bang with Academy bot laner Matthew "Deftly" Chen. It's more plausible that fans will see Huni play for EG's Academy team, and as long as Huni plays at least 50% of the games this summer, he'll be eligible to declare as a North American citizen for the 2021 Spring Split, and thus be able to play for EG without breaking any import restricti

The gaming industry is a huge mix of companies around the globe, all working to deliver the gaming experiences that fans love. This is how surprises like The Outer Worlds Switch port delay can happen as a result of the Coronavirus, even though the development studio, Obsidian Entertainment, is located in California.

At the moment, this is still hearsay, as no event was announced and Sony hasn't commented on exactly what reveals may have been delayed as a result of the convention's delay. It is entirely possible that we've already seen the effects of this delay, with Final Fantasy 7 Remake 's new trailer dropping suddenly online as opposed to being revealed at a press event. With that being said, while it may have been a strong business tactic to reveal the system at Taipei, with worldwide coverage reaching close to the huge Chinese gaming market, Sony will likely be holding the PS5 announcement in a more private venue in the fut
